[SOLVED] naming a file on a databse

[cs1h]

Hi,

 

I am trying to rename an uploaded file and then reference it to a database, so far I have managed to rename the file to the way I want it on the server but I am not able to put the new name onto the databse, only the old one goes up. My script is

 

<?php 

// Generate a random number
$newname = rand();
//This is the directory where images will be saved 
$target = "imgs/";  
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); 
$target = str_replace(' ', $newname, $target); // <--- then add the random number in here to replace any spaces
$target = str_replace('o', $newname, $target);
$target = str_replace('a', $newname, $target);
$target = str_replace('e', $newname, $target);

//This gets all the other information from the form 
$name=$_POST['name']; 
$country=$_POST['menuFilesDMA']; 
$type=$_POST['Catagory'];
$Email=$_POST['Email']; 
$Title=$_POST['title']; 
$Abstract=$_POST['message'];
$Article=$_POST['messagetwo'];  
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']); 

// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect("localhost", "adder", "clifford") or die(mysql_error()) ; 
mysql_select_db("real") or die(mysql_error()) ; 

//Writes the information to the database 
mysql_query($sql = "insert into `items` (`name`, `country`, `type`, `Email`, `Title`, `Abstract`, `Article`, `photo`) values ('$name', '$country', '$type', '$Email', '$Title', '$Abstract', '$Article', '$pic')"); 

//Writes the photo to the server 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{ 

//Tells you if its all ok 
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
} 
else { 

//Gives and error if its not 
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
} 
?>

 

If any one can help it will be much appriciated.

 

thanks

Colin

In your sql statement there is no $target, which is the renamed filename, yes...
